    //  Begin with loading ASN.1 from a binary DER/BER format file.

        wprintf(L"%s\n",asn.lastErrorText());
        return;

    //  The XML returned by AsnToXml will be compact and not pretty-formatted.
    //  Use Chilkat XML to format the XML better:
    CkXmlW xml;
    success = xml.LoadXml(strXml);
    //  Assuming success for this example..
    //  This is formatted better for human viewing:
    wprintf(L"%s\n",xml.getXml());

    //  Now get the ASN.1 in base64 format.  Any encoding supported
    //  by Chilkat can be passed, such as "hex", "uu", "quoted-printable", "base32", "modbase64", etc.
    const wchar_t *strBase64 = asn.getEncodedDer(L"base64");

    //  Load the ASN.1 from XML:
    CkAsnW asn2;
    success = asn2.LoadAsnXml(xml.getXml());
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",asn2.lastErrorText());
        return;

    //  Load the ASN.1 from an encoded string, such as base64:
